WYCKOFF HOUSE & ASSOCIATION MEMBERSHIP - SAVE MONEY! Join or Renew NOW before July 1, 2008 and enjoy our current rates. Effective July 1, 2008 membership dues will be increased by 10-15 percent. Membership year is from July to June of the following year. When you join the Wyckoff House & Association you support the preservation and teaching of an important but largely overlooked chapter in American history – the story of New Netherland’s earliest settlers and the diverse peoples of Brooklyn’s Dutch-American farms. The Association is the guardian of the Pieter Claesen Wyckoff House, the Wyckoff family’s ancestral homestead and New York City’s oldest structure, in what is now East Flatbush, Brooklyn. Membership dollars support the upkeep of the house and the Wyckoff Farmhouse Museum’s educational programs. Funds aid the ongoing effort to record and publish the Wyckoff family genealogy and other historical material related to the family and the Dutch-American farms of the New Netherland region. The Association also seeks to encourage contact between the more than 50,000 Wyckoff descendants across North America.
